Apple TV - a big step in integrated technology Picture 1 Flexible connectivity is the strength of Apple TV because it allows users to use cable or Wi-Fi to connect between 3 devices: computer, Apple TV and TV.

Now there will be many options such as watching new movies, recently purchased movies or setting up Apple TV to automatically update library changes. At that time, everything will be stored on your 40 GB hard drive.

In addition, you can watch movies directly from other computers without wasting space on your hard drive. This would be perfect if there were many computers in the home or a computer but the movie capacity was too much compared to the capacity of Apple TV.

Apple TV works well with newer TVs from well-known manufacturers. The image quality displayed during testing is quite nice, but the colors are a bit dark and thin even in the color-filled frames.

Apple TV can play music with the ability to store up to 9,000 songs. However, the music will be stopped if switched to browse other parts. In addition, Apple TV also allows listening to radio and viewing high quality photos.
